And of course you'd have to loop the read (or cycle it).
Was trying to throw something together quickly.

Hi William,

You could have the program read in the old file and write out to the new file while monitoring for any issues. If you encounter an issue, write to a bad file (which should have the same layout as the 'old' file).

D ds_Bad DS LikeRec( BadFileFmt: *output )
D ds_Old DS LikeRec( OldFileFmt )
D ds_New DS LikeRec( NewFileFmt: *output )

Read OldFile ds_Old;
If not %eof( OldFile );
evalR ds_New = ds_Old;

// Handle any change in field name/definitions
Monitor;
ds_New.SizeN = %int( ds_Old.SizeA );

Write NewFileFmt ds_New;

On-Error;
ds_Bad = ds_Old;
Write BadFile ds_Bad;
EndMon;

EndIf;
